The sport that New Zealand would be most well known for is Rugby. The national team is the All Blacks and are classed as, if not the top in the world, in the top five. Youngsters in New Zealand start playing rugby at the age of 5 through to any age. |
New Zealanders have done very well in the sport of international sailing competitions, the latest and the one that is most notable is the Americas Cup. This was vied for by international teams again in the year 2000 and was based in Auckland, sailed for in the Hauraki Gulf and won again by New Zealand. |
There is snow aplenty and all snow activities are available for the skier, snowboarder or for anyone who loves the snow. As I have mentioned previously there are 3 main ski fields in New Zealand, but there are more ski fields for the people who like to have space when at the snow. Whakapapa, New Zealand's largest ski field on the slopes of Ruapehu in the North Island offers everything that a visitor to the snow could want. |
